My step-Grandma introduced me to a sweet little tradition a few years ago.

On her birthday, she gave everyone in attendance to her party a dollar for every year they were...mind you there were several grown adults at this party. I watched her give out several hundred dollars to people and you could tell she just loved watching their delight. She gained a lot of happiness from giving to others, even on her own birthday.

I'm not giving out money today...sorry :) Instead, I'd like to share something else fun with all you weekend readers. Here is a little something that is sure to brighten your day--a Cath Kidston Stationery Set from the always fabulous Chronicle Books.

Like all other giveaways, simply leave a comment on this post and I'll post a winner later tonight. I'll keep this giveaway live until 10 p.m. After that, I'll post a winner...unless I'm still out partying it up :)

Birthday blessings to you, with thanks for how often this past year you have blessed my day with a moment of peace and civility. I hope your coming year will be the best yet, for you and those you love.

Happy Birthday! Today is my mom's birthday too, and I'd love to give her this stationery set as she still writes lots of letters to her friends! Also, what a neat tradition you mentioned, I bet everyone was surprised and what a way to share her birthday with everyone attending! Enjoy your day!

Steph,Happy Birthday! I discovered Chronicle Books this summer in SF and got the most beautiful set of Lables there. Wow I could have spent hours there. Who doesn't love pretty stationary:)I hope you have a great day, it's gorgeous outside!
